Reviews: Melbourne Puffing Billy Steam Train + Phillip Island Penguin Island Day Trip
Guest User2026-02-27
This itinerary was really great for us traveling with kids. The penguin watching was in the evening, so we left the hotel around noon, which suited our child's schedule. Our first stop was the Puffing Billy Railway, a popular station with great photo opportunities. It was sunny at first, but halfway through the journey, a sudden downpour started. So we skipped the zoo and went straight to Phillip Island. We saw kangaroos along the way, and Cape Nobis was beautiful. Our guide, Xiao Li, was also fantastic. We did see the baby penguins in the evening, but my older son got impatient in the end. We took many close-up photos though. Highly recommended!

This trip was brilliant and such a good combination of things to do in one trip. A great atmosphere with the group and the tour guide Lisa was amazing and so informative. She made me feel so comfortable with doing it as a solo trip and got to know everyone as best she could in the time. The sanctuary and penguin parade were a great experience and I would recommend to anyone. The view points were breathtaking and you got to see animals in their wild habitats. 10/10 experience.

At first, I was a little worried because the tour was in Chinese, but our guide, Carter, kindly explained things in English, so I was able to complete the tour without any problems. Please note that you'll need to bring cash for zoo admission. Also, for the Puffing Billy train, sit on the left side of the train for a better view.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Tour with the Best Guide! Chris H picked us up from the Great Southern Hotel and gave us an unforgettable experience from the colorful Brighton Beach, the wildlife at Moonlit Sanctuary, stunning views at The Nobbies, and the magical Penguin Parade. Chris is truly the best, kind, professional, and very caring. Thank you for the amazing memories! Until we meet again — love from the Philippines 🇵🇭❤️

After arranging everything for my child's studies in Europe, I booked this day trip on Ctrip. It was an English-language tour, with half the participants being Chinese and the other half foreign tourists. The driver and guide was a very nice Australian girl who always had a smile on her face. She drove fast and smoothly, making for a pleasant experience, and the scenery was quite beautiful.
